its tragic isnt it?...
but I find it hard to believe a 5 year old child knows what suicide is..and thats what they intend..
Quote:Indigenous children, aged between five and 17, die from suicide at five times the rate of non-indigenous children, according to Australian Bureau of Statistics.
Figures also show one in four people who took their own life before turning 18 were Aboriginal.
if we believe 5 yr olds are killing themselves deliberately we are in abad way there is a huge difference in suicide and accidental death....
its time the authorities got real.. if a 5 yr old threw herself in front of a train.....yes its suicide and was it due to mother drinking during pregnancy>>>
on the other hand did the child die from drinking alcohol?....or sniffing petrol both things taught to them by adults.....and both lethal to a child...
its too easy saying its suicide...
come on stop shirking your responsibilities get to the real cause...... putting a limit on take away grog sales...
makes me smile.. since when can a 5 to 17 yr old buy take away grog..
